Let us discuss its clear vision.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9002125\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is running a record $78\u2011billion deficit, based on $45 billion in so-called investments in assets, a practice that has been criticized by the Parliamentary Budget Officer himself. I want my colleague to explain how he can talk about fiscal restraint when he is involved in running the biggest deficit in history and also changing the accounting rules in an attempt to muddy the waters.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9002126\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Has his definition of fiscal restraint changed, or is it his definition of fiscal transparency that has changed?</p>",
